misty mountain hop(ping)
I just got back from the mountains of Park City, Utah, to come home to the mountains of northern Colorado with enough time to unpack and repack to leave… for some other mountains in 36 hours. I AM NOT COMPLAINING. I had a lovely time at the Evo ’11 Conference in Utah. Rachael Herrscher, Jyl Johnson Pattee and their remarkable team managed the herculean effort of pulling this huge event off. Truly impressive and so much fun! So let me share some photos and keep the yammering to a minimum…

I tag-teamed with Aimee who delivered terrific fundamental photo tips, me on nature and landscape photography, Brooke (made us cry) with gorgeous, touching portraits, and Jenny, Kodak’s Chief Blogger, who highlighted creative, fun, and hilarious trends in photography.

When we were done, everyone hopped onto the Orange Bubble and rode to the top before getting turned around to head down for the closing keynote. I was the last to board – intentionally. I thought it’d be fun to catch folks coming back, sitting in orange bubbles way up in the air.
like sheila, brooke, and jenny
down means down

forget-me-not (no, i won’t forget)
thank you, evo ’11 and beautiful park city

Lovely photo summary of Evo Con! I was following the conference (jealously) on Twitter this weekend and have decided that I must put this one on my “must-attend” list for next year :)

All your photos are stunning, but I especially love that bottom photo of you and Jeremy. I’m so glad you came to Utah so we could hang out, even if it was only for a short time. xoxo

While you were at this, I was in Mexico City with Penny de los Santos having life changing after life changing experience; both from a photography standpoint and also life-stuff standpoint.
Cannot wait to meet you…in like 2-3 weeks! wow! :)

Kristina – if you’re there I *have* to go… otherwise who is gonna cover yer ass? ;)

Stacy – what a doll you are. Totally loved meeting you and your hilarious gaggle of pals. You were all so much fun xo
